Chapter 103
Several months later.
Fang Qing and Qin Ruxue received battlefield intelligence.
"Thunder and lightning rage near Tianxin Island, black winds sweep across the skies—suspected Core Formation battle?"
Qin Ruxue held a voice transmission talisman and praised, "This must be Sect Master Shi breaking through to the Pseudo-Core Realm and refining the Tide Birth Pearl, granting him true Core Formation combat power"
"But there has been no follow-up. No news has spread of any Core Formation cultivator falling. Instead, strange phenomena suddenly appeared on Tianxin Island, a pillar of light shot into the heavens and rumors of ruins existing on the island spread throughout the entire Minor Huan Sea almost overnight."
Fang Qing read the lower half of the talisman, his expression growing grave.
"So Ruan Ancestor and Sect Master Shi joined forces but still failed to take down Heiyuan True Personage?" Qin Ruxue asked in mild surprise.
"Not only that—Heiyuan True Personage immediately countered by allowing the news of the ruins to spread far and wide. In doing so, he placed Ruan Zhixuan in an unfavorable position. If she cannot open the ruins quickly and secure their benefits, she risks doing all the work only for others to reap the rewards. Once more foreign Core Formation cultivators arrive, it will become a situation where both sides suffer heavy losses."
Fang Qing sighed.
